Sensory overload can leave us feeling empty, or even thirsting for ever more stimulation. Our Twelve Senses is a more balanced, health-giving way of experiencing and understanding the human senses. The author starts by appreciating the rich tapestry of not just five, but twelve senses. These are the senses of touch, life, self-movement, balance, smell, taste, vision, temperature, hearing, language, the conceptual and the ego senses. This imaginative exploration into living with soul is based of Rudolf Steiner’s research into the senses, and offers a lucid introduction to spiritual psychology.

About the author:

Albert Soesman (1914–2007) worked as a GP and Anthroposophical doctor in The Hague from 1943 to 1983. A gifted speaker, he also held popular classes in the field of anthroposophy, human biology and Goethe’s works. Cheryl Sanders-Sardello (1951–2015) was co-founder and co-director of The School of Spiritual Psychology, in Benson, NC. She was a Fellow of the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, a place she dearly loved. Prior to the founding of The School in 1992, she worked as a counselor of mentally handicapped children, and later as an addictions counselor at Parkland Hospital and Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. At the time of her death, she was writing a book on the healing of the twelve senses in the young and the development of the spiritual senses as we age, with an additional focus on the spiritual psychology of what it means to be in connection with the “so-called dead.”
